What is “ದಸರಾ (Dasara)” in Kannada culture?

In this Kannada film trailer the story is placed near “ದಸರಾ ನಡೆಯೋ ಜಾಗ,” “the place where Dasara happens,” only sixty kilometres from Chamarajanagar. ದಸರಾ (Dasara) is the grand ten-day Navaratri festival, and Mysuru Dasara is Nadahabba, the official state festival of Karnataka, celebrated with royal splendour.

Its climax is the Jumbo Savari, a procession of caparisoned elephants carrying the goddess Chamundeshwari past a Mysore Palace lit by nearly a hundred thousand bulbs. Naming ದಸರಾ instantly signals Mysuru and old Wadiyar-kingdom grandeur to any Kannada speaker, which is exactly why a trailer drops it to set the scene.
